Interfacial polyelectrolyte (polyion) complexation (IPC) is a process whereby fibers and
capsules are formed through interactions at the interface of oppositely charged polymers. Since …

Poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel (PVA) is a widely used material for biomedical devices, yet there
is a need to enhance its biological functionality for in vitro and in vivo vascular application. …

Synthetic small diameter vascular grafts with mechanical properties of native arteries, resistance
to thrombosis and capacity to stimulate in situ endothelialization are an unmet clinical …

Cells respond in complex ways to their environment, making it challenging to predict a direct
relationship between the two. A key problem is the lack of informative representations of …

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is one of the most invasive and metastatic cancers and
has a dismal 5-year survival rate. We show that N-WASP drives pancreatic cancer metastasis, …

Microvascular surgery is becoming a prevalent surgical practice. Replantation, hand
reconstruction, orthopedic, and free tissue transfer procedures all rely on microvascular surgery for …

This study investigated the effects of terminal sterilization of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) biomaterials
using clinically translatable techniques, specifically ethylene oxide (EtO) and gamma (γ) …

The endothelial lining of blood vessels is severely affected in type II diabetes. Yet, there is
still a paucity on the use of diabetic endothelial cells for study and assessment of implantable …

Small diameter synthetic vascular grafts have high failure rate due to the thrombosis and
intimal hyperplasia formation. Compliance mismatch between the synthetic graft and native …

The Golgi complex comprises a connected ribbon of stacked cisternal membranes localized
to the perinuclear region in most vertebrate cells. The position and morphology of this …
